First UK HPI published

The first of the Government's newly combined House Price Index has been published. Combining Land Registry, Registers of Scotland and Land and Property Services Northern Ireland data this new UK HPI replaces the ONS and Land Registry HPIs.

The new UK HPI for April 2016 shows annual house price inflation slowing slightly at 8.2% (down from 8.5% in March ).

Average UK house price rose from £207,780 in March to £209,054 in April.

In terms of countries, England continues to see price growth whereas Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland continue to bounce along on more static trajectories.
